Well, good morning everyone! Hopefully everyone is safe and digging out. Right now we are going to remain closed today. We will continue to keep you updated as we know more. Currently most of us are stuck a home for the time being until roads can be cleared better. I'm sure a lot of you are in the same boat. We are doing our best to get in at some point but we will keep everyone informed as the day progresses.

Update on tomorrow: we don’t know 🤣. We will plan on being open if/when we get dug out to be determined. We will keep everyone updated as we know. Who knows what the morning will bring. We hope everyone is doing ok, safe, warm and cozy at home. Ps don’t forget to take some ibuprofen after all the shoveling…or even if you’re just prepping for the 100 of snow you’ll have to shovel tomorrow Good luck everyone spring will be here before we know it! Maybe…hopefully…

Were pleasantly surprised when we opened the door to this room and saw this cute little pack! They were so cute and VERY photogenic. They’re clearly professionals who aren’t strangers to taking pictures perfectly! Meet Josephine, Weston and Mabel. They’re Aussiedoodles 🐾

Hi everyone, we just want to clarify that we will be open during our paperless transition. We are primarily closed for appointments during that time. However we will be checking our messages, and emails periodically throughout the day. You can come in and pick up meds if needed ect. We have opened up a few appointment hours on Monday 1/12 and Tuesday 1/13 if need.

Incase you’ve ever wondered what clinic cat life is behind the scenes… Chilly could care less about our space and the functionality of things in the office like a keyboard he says “work around me while I eat” or “if it fits, I sits in this box that I really shouldn’t be sitting on”

Hi everyone! Happy New Year!! So new year new us! We are officially going to take the plunge and go paperless next week, it’s time to well…get with the times! Due to this lengthy process we will be closed for appointments next week on Monday 1/12, Tuesday 1/13 we will have sick appointments between 1-4 & closed on Wednesday 1/14. We will still be there and periodically checking messages and emails if you need something. We will not be available for appointments on those days. We will resume our normal hours 1/15 on… This is an exciting (and stressful😹) new chapter for SBVC so please be patient with us while we go through this process. It will be a learning curve for us all that’s for sure!

If you need medication refills or preventatives please try to plan ahead and call them in this week.

WE WILL BE OPEN Thursday 1/8, Friday 1/9, & Saturday 1/10 our normal hours.
